    No, profits are the difference between what a person is willing to accept to do a job, and what someone is willing to pay for their production less the cost to make it.

    Profit isn’t theft. If you want the full value of your work produce the good or service yourself. If you can’t, pay someone to do the things you can’t. Oh look, business.

    Are certain players taking a ridiculous profit- yes. Are people suffering because of it - yes. Could it be done better - absolutely. But just because you don’t like something it doesn’t make it theft.
